The
U.S. Food Law Short Course is designed as an introduction to U.S. food
laws and regulations for professionals in the field. It is well suited
for those new to the field but also comprehensive enough on the
essential elements of food law to provide a refresher course for the
experienced professional.

U.S. Food Law Short Course
participants will
receive a copy of the book, Food
Regulation: Law, Science, Policy, and Practice by Neal
Fortin.
The book provides an accessible discussion of the federal statutes,
regulations, and agencies involved in food regulation in the United
States.
